So they're going to have to undermine Burke's credibility?

I can't shake the feeling that Clarice is going to recruit Burke after this.

Looks like Burke doesn't have as much of a Weirdness Censor as they banked on.

I'm not sure Hope's going to come out on top if she gets Burke to describe in detail and before witnesses what just happened. As Burke demonstrates, most people are probably not very clear on the boundaries of the cyborgs' powers, especially since this was not just unexplained movement but unexplained movement with a piece of electronics.

One must wait and see what happens, of course.

I suspect Hope's plan is to have Amelia touch Burke, etc and have Burke scream about being touched by an invisible person.

Methinks she's going to tell her off, rip her supervisor a fourteenth one, and quit. (get fifteen steps of self righteousness in and round the corner to panic!!)

Still dangerous in that people might think it is Pat or another member of the program.

Gotta be wackier. Much more of the magician's hand waving away from the actual point of deception.

Something like the "I was just practicing my stage kiss for a new version of Romeo and Juliet".
Or "I was suffering a bout of Latrodectism and was trying to stretch my back muscles that were cramping."

Now that I think of it I suspect she's going to point out that Pat can only read/write to electronics (not make them move). I think that she's going to accuse Burke of destroying her own phone to frame Hope.

That's true, of course, but the question is whether hospital management, spectators, or the general public are completely sure that that's the bright line where the agents' powers end. In the public imagination, as I understand, they're basically supermen.

Also, just to be nitpicky, they could make a phone move by setting off its vibrate function. Just not very much, and not this much.

I think you are probably closer to right. :) Waiting for the next comic I think, but I expect Hope is about to sacrifice her career to save Burke being locked up in the psych ward. (*sigh*) Good excuse to get a few weeks off I suppose, but it sure sucks if true.

Perhaps she will explain a portion of the truth to her boss, honesty counts for a lot. :)
